[Question]: The song Seven Days has a Broadway show feel to it.
[Sting]: Yeah, I mean I spent some time on Broadway. And had a great time on Broadway. Actually, one of the best times in my life was actually being here in the city walking to work every day and the old cliche is "There are no people like show people." And it's right, y'know? They were great. Um, I suppose one of the first records I really listened to was Westside Story, which is an incredibly sophisticated piece of music, you know, melodically and lyrically. Which is Bernstein and Stephen Soundheim. Um, it's written in 5/4, my song and I suppose it has that sort of - there's a strange hybrid of, of rhythmic, uh, complexity actually. So Broadway, I, I, I don't mind Broadway. It's a pretty frivolous song. I mean it's, you know, it's the story of - it's this sort of Charles Atlas story. You know, of having to face Neanderthal brute to win the hand of his loved one. And, uh, I think he does. I think he wins in the end.
